[English]

Too high, too deep

It's you, it's me

Too wild, too free, oh, yeah

One thing to me

Three words, I speak

When you're with me, babe

Oh, come on, come on

However I act, you know how much I care

Come on, come on

You know what I want, now meet me if you dare

Love on the run, love on the run, run

Do anything to be there, be there

...

And I'm always singing it like a prayer

Oh, when you touch me there

Oh, you'll always be my ritual

Always, love you all through the night and

Be there when the sun is rising

Oh, you'll always be my ritual

...

Oh, you'll always be my ritual

Oh, you'll always be my ritual

You worship me

Beneath the sheets

All love unique, and even when

You leave my bed, you're in my head

You're all I need

Oh, come on, come on

However I act, you know how much I care

Come on, come on

You know what I want, now meet me if you dare

Love on the run, love on the run, run

Do anything to be there, be there

And I'm always singing it like a prayer

Oh, when you touch me there

Oh, you'll always be my ritual

Always, love you all through the night and

Be there when the sun is rising

Oh, you'll always be my ritual

...

Oh, you'll always be my ritual

...

Oh, you'll always be my ritual

So come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, babe

So come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, babe

Oh, love on the run, love on the run, love on the run, babe

Oh, anywhere, be there, with you

And I'm always singing it like a prayer

Oh, when you touch me there

Oh, you'll always be my ritual

Always, love you all through the night and

Be there when the sun is rising

Oh, you'll always be my ritual

Always singing it like a prayer

Oh, when you touch me there

Oh, you'll always be my ritual

Always, love you all through the night and

Be there when the sun is rising

Oh, you'll always be my ritual

You'll always be my ritual
